BrentD and Joe I wish to thank you for freely sharing your learning and ideas on the back bored barrels, has given me many projects that I thought would be years in the making come to faster finish (maybe), converting the unused barrels to short liners is one of those (Why didn't I think of that!!! Followed by a slap to my forehead) ideas. wink

I have a Stevens 044 1/2 action that I paid WAY TOOOO much for, I have decided on the caliber for it to be 22 Maynard/5.75 Velo Dog and was looking to turn it into a light weight Squirrel/carry rifle. After seeing your rifle Brent and going though Steve's rifles in Black and White again, may have rethink the plain Jane hunting rifle route...

Take care and Have a Great Weekend/Halloween,
Mike
